The fifth year anniversary

Today is the fifth year anniversary of the day I started working on Pantheon. I started this project just for fun, and I decided to make Atari 2600 emulator first, because I thought it will be easy. I was so wrong and it took me more than six months to make first version of emulator. I also had to develop everything else: sound and graphics engine, user interface, debugger... and in 2011, first Pantheon was released: version 0.048 with less than fifty Atari 2600 games. Not very exciting, but the large majority of work was done. Three months later, new version of Pantheon with Atari 5200 emulator was released. Since then, I made more than twenty emulators, but only 14 are included in Pantheon at the moment.

Since 2014, I am more focused on games than on emulators. I try to add as many games as possible to each release, because that is what Pantheon is about. My goal is not to create perfect emulators with dozens of different options (there's already enough of that), but to create an environment that will allow you to play different games from the past. Games that are still popular and games that have almost been forgotten.

Commodore computers

I've recently started to work on emulation of Commodore computers. Commodore PET and Commodore VIC20 are relatively simple computers and both emulators are working fine. Commodore C64 is far more complex and I still need few months to complete the emulator. Certain games are running, but without sound.

Mattel Intellivision ECS and Intellivoice

Mattel Intellivision emulator is ready, and I've already included 50 Intellivision games. Most of the games are working fine and are fun to play, but there are still certain games, that don't work or cannot be played, because they require either Intellivoice or Entertainment Computer System, or both. Only few games require these add-ons, but I'll do my best to make them work.

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulator still in development

In last few months, I've made some significant improvements in Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulator. The sound is working fine now and the emulator supports SRAM. Most of the games are working fine, but there are still some problems with certain games. I will also have to make some performance optimizations, before this emulator is ready for release.

The next release of Pantheon is almost ready, there are still certain things to do, but I hope it will be ready at the end of this week.
